So I just began programming in c++ and I am planning to make a small game as my first project (with the SDL library).
So I have this really small piece of code in a header file that gives me an error that I can not solve.
main.h
#include "Screen.h"
#include "MainGame.h"
Screen* screen = nullptr; //main.h line 8
Screen.h
#pragma once
#include "SDL.h"
#include <string>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include "GameState.h"
#include "Game.h"
using namespace std;
class Screen
{
public:
Screen(string name, int width, int height, GameState* state);
~Screen();
SDL_Window *window;
SDL_Surface *screen;
SDL_Renderer *renderer;
};
MainGame.h
#pragma once
#include "GameState.h"
#include <stdio.h>
class MainGame :
public GameState
{
public:
MainGame();
~MainGame();
void start();
void update();
void render();
void stop();
};
Game.h
#pragma once
#include "GameState.h"
#include "Screen.h"
#include "SDL.h"
#include "main.h"
class Game
{
public:
GameState* activestate;
Game(GameState state);
~Game();
void changeState(GameState newState);
bool isRunning;
void handleEvents();
void update();
void render();
void stop();
};
GameState.h
#pragma once
class GameState
{
public:
GameState();
~GameState();
virtual void start();
virtual void update();
virtual void stop();
virtual void render();
};
And it gives this errors:
Error C2143 syntax error: missing ';' before '* main.h 8
Error C4430 missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int main.h 8
What do these errors mean and how do I solve them?
